A Large Pork Roast.

CHICAGO, June ga million and
a quarter of dollars went up IN smoke
at the Union Stock Yards to-day.
Early this morning one of the en-
ployes of the Chicago Packing and
Provision Company discovered a fire
in the tank room. In a few moments
one of the tanks exploded, scattering
burning lard oyer the adjacent build-
ing and dozen separate fires were
soon competing with each other in
the destruction of the immense estab-
lishment. Though the fire was struck
out this evening, fourteen and one
half hours after it started, the smoth-
ering embers continued to laden the
air with the fumes of roast pork and
a five acre oven will remain on the
premises red hot for at least couple
of days.
The Chicago Packing and Provi-
sion Company's works occupy six
acres of ground. but the fire was kept
within the district bounded by For
tieth street, Centre avenue, Forty
second street and the railroad tracks,
a block west of Centre avenue. This
territory contained four large build
ings. The main building was 800 by
AIS feet. In it portion of the kill
ing was done, and the hanging, cut
ting, packing. curing and other work
incidental to Strengthening establish
ment. Except the curing room. in
which were $4,000, 900 pounds of short
ribs, the main building and it's con-
tents are a total loss. The curing
room, 100 by $50 feet and four stories
high, lost its roof, but the stone fire
walls saved its contents, portion of
them in roasted condition.
On the east side of the main build.
ing was the warehouse, 100 by 400
feet, with four stories and basement.
The two upper floors at the south
end, were used for killing purposes.
In the warehouse were $1,000 barrels
of mess pork belonging to Armour q
Co. The building and much of the
pork was wholly destroyed. About
5000 lives hogs were in the building
when the fire started, but the com
pany's employees succeeded in getting
most of them out. Between 600 and
700 hogs were burned alive in the
building. Back of the main build
ing was the fertilizing factory, 100
feet square, and the engine house, so
by 65 feet. Both structures were
burned completely.
Perhaps the most exciting scene
the day presented was when the men
who attempting to drive through the
covered way the live hogs in the
upper stories were forced by the
flames to desist. Below were scores
of Workmen rolling out barrels OF
pork. Down on the crowd pell nell
leaped dozens of affrighted animals
that had jumped from the windows
or sprang through the open batch
way. Men who had braved the
flames fleeing from the falling hogs,
at distance watched for glimpses OF
the squealing brutes that crazed with
pain were rushing madIy about in
their tall prison of fire. About zoe
barrels of pork were saved before the
hogs commenced jumping. During
the afternoon the firemen gave their
attention to saving the short ribs in
the curing rooms. While number
of the men were inside the main
building one of the division walls
fell, seriously injuring ]. A. Schaffer,

"sAN JUAN NUGGET"


On Wednesday last two men CIV
ing their names as Oliver and James
Webb were arrested by Constable
Mourning on a charge of defraud-
ing a miner named Thomas Worth
ington Of the sum of six dollars:
by selling him a spurious nugget,
which they represented to be gold.
The two men claimed to have found
the nugget in the Big Hole country,
Montana, and made several ineffect-
ual attempts to dispose of the same
before finally finding a purchaser
in Worthington. The prisoners
are brothers, and came here on
Monday from Butte, by way of
Viola. Both lived in Boise City
for a number of years, one of them,
blacksmith, being employed by
the stage company for some time,
and also worked for Thomas Maui
pin. A hearing of the case was had
on Thursday before Justice Peck,
deputy District Attorney Bierbower
appearing for the people, and 0. B.
Batten representing the defendants.
The testimony against the brothers,
while conclusive, in respect to the
disposition of the bogus nugget to
Worthington, did not clearly show
them to have sold the same with q
guilty knowledge of its worthless
ness. Both were held in $500 bail
to appear before the grand jury at
its next session. The specimen
has all the appearance of the fam.
Gus "San Juan Nuggets which
were palmed off on the travellers
over the Union Pacific road in 1873
as specimens of the wonderful dis
coveries made in that region o
Colorado. A gang of sharpers hae
them made of various metals, which
when combined gave every appear
ance of being a genuine nugget 0
gold and would even stand the aciC
test. They reaped a harvest before
the fraud was stopped and it j.
more than likely that the Webb
brothers got hold of one of tin
"San Juan nuggets " but, whether
innocently or not, is hard to deter
mine. The selling of the same is
penitentiary offense and unles
they can tell pretty straight stor.
of the manner in which they cam
in possession of the bogus speci
men, both will find themselves in
serious prcdicament. The deput.
District Attorney, yesterday, agree
to dismiss the charge of uttering
counterfeit nugget and to hold tn
prisoners for obtaining money un
der false pretenses, which is a light
er Offense.

SOMEWHAT TO THE POINT.

The San Francisco Chronicle does
not propose to let the Beecher mat
ter drop, simply because the adj
ministration, under a weight of OBJ
legations to the elder Beecher, now
tries to shield the son. In an edi-
torial in last Tuesdays issue it
says:
We have said that H. s. Bcecher is a liar.
dishonest man, associate and acco,nplicc OF
smugglers, and scoundrel whom the gov
eminent should not retain i'm its employ a
single day; and we propose to prove these
charges so thoroughly and completely that
even the democratic secretary OF the treas
ury and the quasi-democratic presiden nj
will not dare to disregard the evidence Oh
smother the accusations. We do not hest
tate to say that the whole story has moi
been told, and when it is, no administration
not even that of Cleveland-will have a
shadow of excuse for keeping this fellow
in office, unless it is prepared to assert the
doctrine that honesty is not qualification
for office, and that Jeiiersonian tests wer,
designed for another age Of the world ano
another kind Of democracy"

A RAY OF LIGHT.

The election of Hon. Thomas
Marshall as a member of the upper
house of the Utah Legislature must
be bitter pill to the dignitaries of
the Mormon Church. The gentle
man has resided in Salt Lake City
for twenty-five years, is promi-
nent and. successful lawyer, and
one thoroughly identified with the
best interests Of that church-ridden
city. He lived there at a time when
in utter helplessness Gentiles, who
had provoked the wrath Of the
church, were stabbed to death by
midnight assassins or shot down
in broad daylight like mad dogs,
in which manner DR.. Robinson and
J. Brassfield met their death. The
election of Thomas Marshall marks
the era of a brighter period for
Utah and it will be but a few years
when the law-making power Of the
territory will fall into such hands
AS his and the supremacy of the
church forever overthrow.

OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION.

The Carson City New Tribune
is openly opposed to the scheme of
annexing Southern Idaho to Ne
vxda and declares that those who
father the movement are no friends
to the state. 1t says two-thirds of
the members of the legislature who
signed memorial to congress ask
ing annexation will now oppose it
and can satisfy congress that it
will not be of advantage to pass
Senator Stewards bill. If the bill
should pass, those interested in its
passage will gobble up SC much of
the public lands of Idaho and Ne
vada az to check the tide Of immi-
grafton and place their lands in the
hands Of a few to the detriment of
the many seeking new homes in
tho western country. Those who
have axes to grind are jealous ad-
vocates of the scheme, but those
who live in Southern Idaho are
generally we'll content to live out.
